Haifa, Israel - Haifa, Israel - The Global Peace Festival was celebrated in Haifa, Israel, as part of that city’s annual December celebrations. The diverse crowd was composed of Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Druze from Haifa and all around the country.
Prior to the main celebration in Haifa on December 20, the Global Peace Festival included various conferences and service projects throughout Israel.
We held an exciting service project in a Druze village on Mount Carmel in which the local Boy Scouts along with GPF volunteer instructors transformed an old school wall into a beautiful mural. In Haifa, another group of young leaders from the Reali School joined Youth Federation for World Peace volunteers in a painting project at an old peoples’ home. The elderly residents were so moved that they didn’t let the young people leave without inviting them to share a meal together
